Song Yi

Chapter 23
Old Wang headed back in the ox cart, Du Wenhao and Xue Fei'er carried the medicine baskets on their backs, and slowly went up the mountain along the trail.

The ancient green hills are really green hills, there is no problem of deforestation, the mountains are full of lush greenery, and herbs can be seen everywhere.

Du Wenhao searched all the way, and after a while, he picked a small half of the basket.

Although Xue Fei'er didn't know much about medicinal materials, after Du Wenhao taught her, she quickly mastered them.

When the sun was westward, the two had already dug up dozens of new medicines such as Panax notoginseng, filling most of the box.Du Wenhao said: "It's almost time, let's go back."

Xue Feier finally came out, she was in a good mood, and wanted to play for a while, so she raised her hand and pointed to the top of the mountain:
"Let's go up a little further and go to the Feiling Temple on the top of the mountain to have a look and ask for a cup of tea. Their fragrant tea at Feiling Temple is very good. Let's go back after drinking the tea, okay?"

Seeing her excited face, Du Wenhao couldn't bear to dampen her interest, and said, "Okay, then let's go."

The two went up to the top of the mountain and came to Feiling Temple.

This temple is not big, located on the top of Feiling Mountain. The two of them climbed up from the back mountain, and from the gentler slope in front, there is an official road up the mountain.

The scenery of the temple is beautiful, and more than a dozen monks are also more enthusiastic, especially after Xue Feier donated a sling of copper coins, she was even more polite, serving fragrant tea, and the presiding abbot even talked with the two of them.

After learning that Du Wenhao was a new doctor hired by Wuweitang in the city, the presiding abbot asked him to see the monks.Of course Du Wenhao would not refuse.

After seeing the sick monks and prescribing prescriptions, the sun had already set.

The old abbot wanted to keep them to stay. Xue Feier was worried that Pang Xianwei's second grandmother Yu'er's condition would change, and she was also afraid that her parents would worry, so she insisted on going down the mountain overnight and returning to the city.

This Dongda County is not a strategic location, nor is it an important city, and the world has been peaceful for decades without major wars, so the city gate is not closed at night, and you can still enter and exit freely, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to enter the city .

The old abbot then brought a lantern to light them up. Du Wenhao carried the lantern and walked in front, and Xue Fei'er went down from the back mountain as before, the road was shorter this way.

It was completely dark, without a single star or moon, but fortunately, there were lanterns to illuminate and the road was relatively familiar, so the two of them didn't worry about getting lost.

As he was walking down, Du Wenhao suddenly stopped, Xue Feier behind him couldn't stop, almost bumped into the medicine basket behind him, shouted: "What are you doing!"

Du Wenhao stared blankly at the bushes in front of him, and stammered, "Old... tiger!"

In the bushes a few feet in front of them, a colorful tiger appeared, with cold eyes, staring at the two of them.

"Ah!" Xue Fei'er trembled in fright, grabbed Du Wenhao's arm, and almost knocked off the lantern, "Yes, it's a tiger, what... what should I do?"

Du Wenhao didn't dare to turn his head when he heard her teeth chattering. He stared at the faint green eyes of the fierce tiger in the bushes more than ten meters away, and said tremblingly: "You..., you know..., you know martial arts... ..., hit it!"

"I...I...I fight a tiger?" Xue Fei'er trembled all over, "I... I was... a guy who stayed... in the inn... I learned how to play tricks... It looks good... , can't beat..."

Du Wenhao spat hard in his stomach, shit!It turned out that it was really a trick of embroidering legs, I knew that Lin Qingdai should do it, she has real kung fu, I saw it with my own eyes.

Such a big man is like a child under her hands. Although she is a girl, she may not be able to deal with this tiger, but it is better than this little girl with embroidered pillows.

Grandma, it's too late to regret now, what should I do?
By the way, tigers are afraid of fire, and wild animals are afraid of fire!

This thought quickly came to Du Wenhao's mind, he hastily raised the lantern in his hand, stretched out his hand and stabbed it, tore off the paper pasted on the outside of the paper lantern, revealing the red candle inside, raised the lantern and stretched it towards the tiger.

Sure enough, the tiger didn't rush up, didn't move, and kept staring at them.

Du Wenhao's teeth also began to chatter, and he whispered to Xue Fei'er behind him: "Throw away the medicine basket, back away! Find a big tree and climb up! Quick!"

"I..., I don't know how to climb trees!" Xue Fei'er trembled.

Grandma's!Can't even climb a tree, it seems that Lao Tzu will return to his place today:

"If you can't climb, you have to climb! Or wait to be eaten by a tiger!"

"Then...then what do you do?"

"Don't be wordy! Climb the tree quickly. I can only climb up the tree after you. Tigers are afraid of fire, so I have to use fire to force it!"

Xue Fei'er hurriedly took off the medicine basket, turned around, and saw a big tree as thick as a bucket behind her.

Gritting his teeth, he jumped, grabbed the lowest branch, kicked his feet in the air, and finally landed on the big tree pole.

She didn't know how to climb trees, and with the tiger beside her, she was even more panicked, her head was like a pot of paste, and she didn't know how to push herself up the tree.

Hanging in mid-air right here.

When Du Wenhao heard the movement of Xue Fei'er behind him, he knew that she hadn't climbed up yet, and he was anxious. He could climb the tree by himself, but he didn't dare to put down the lantern and turn around to climb the tree.

In that case, the tree would have been bitten to death by the tiger without climbing up.

He could only keep shaking the lantern and staring at the tiger.

He took off the medicine basket on his back, stepped back slowly, came to Xue Feier's feet, squatted down halfway, and said:
"Quick! Step on my shoulders and climb up!"

Xue Fei'er kicked with both feet, and finally found his shoulder.

Pushing hard and pushing upwards, after a while of kicking, there was another slope under Du Wenhao's feet, Xue Fei'er kicked hard, and she used her strength to climb up the branch.

Du Wenhao, who was below, lost his balance and fell to the ground. The lantern was also thrown out of his hand, and suddenly went out, and the surroundings were suddenly plunged into darkness.

It's dead now!
Du Wenhao yelled, got up quickly, hugged the tree trunk and climbed up three or two times, for fear that the tiger would bite off his ass from behind.

Fortunately, the tiger didn't rush up, he climbed the treetops in one breath, and then stopped.

Hearing Xue Feier's trembling voice under her feet: "Wait for me! I..., I don't know how to climb trees!"

"Don't move! I'll pull you up!"

Du Wenhao wrapped his feet around the tree pole, leaned down and grabbed Xue Feier's hand, and lifted it vigorously.

The tiger didn't make any further movements, which made Xue Fei'er calm down a little, and with Du Wenhao's strength, hurriedly climbed up to the thick branch where Du Wenhao was, and hugged his waist without letting go.

Du Wenhao was hugged by her soft jade Wenxiang, but he didn't feel any warmth at all, after all there was a big tiger underneath.At this time, you can’t fall. The bottom is already two or three meters high from the ground. If you fall from such a high place, you will be eaten by the tiger if you don’t fall to your death.

After waiting for a long time, the tiger below still didn't move. Du Wenhao was a little surprised. At this time, the clouds in the night slowly dissipated, and the moon shone through the thin clouds. With the help of the moonlight, he could already make out the scenery below. up.

Du Wenhao carefully identified the place where the tiger was found just now, and could faintly see the tiger lying there motionless, with its head raised and staring ahead.

It's strange, it seems to be a sculpture, why is there no movement?

There was no movement below, Xue Fei'er was shocked for a while, and also found something strange, and asked: "What's going on?"

"I don't know, this tiger has been lying there without moving."

"Yeah, maybe we got it wrong? It's not a tiger but a stone or something."

"Impossible, I can see clearly, it is a tiger, but why is it not moving? Will it die?"

"Dead?" Xue Fei'er turned her head suspiciously, the two were too close, and when she turned her face, she accidentally touched Du Wenhao's face with her lips.

With a cry, Xue Fei'er pushed him, and said coquettishly, "What are you doing! - Ouch! Don't move around! You're about to fall!"

Pushed by Xue Feier's slap, Du Wenhao almost fell off the tree. He hurriedly hugged her small waist, and at the same time grabbed the tree trunk, angrily and funny: "Hey! Miss! It was your mouth that touched me just now!" face! Why are you blaming me instead?"

"I don't blame you, who do you blame? Who told you to get so close!"

"It's unreasonable! Okay! I'll stay away!" Du Wenhao let go of her waist and got up to go to another branch.

"Hey! What should I do if you leave?"

"I won't go? If I don't go, what if you say I was molested?"

"You!" Xue Fei'er pouted and muttered: "Okay, okay, it's my fault, okay?"

"That's about the same." Du Wenhao put his arms around her waist again, stabilized his body, and continued to check the tiger under the tree.
